I wound up with about $150 on an Amazon gift card, and figured what the heck (I was lurking on this site when the card arrived) figured I might as well get started. I've been shooting for 35yrs, reloading for 25, and shooting cast on and off most of the time.

For the first caliber, I figured I'd start with 357 mag. Here's whats in my cart so far:

Lyman 2 cavity handles
Lyman 358430 DC mold
Lee Precision 358 lube/size kit
Lyman big dipper furnace
Lee Dipper

(edited to add: I have the lyman cast bullet handbook....)

What am I missing / What am I buying that I don't need / What would you do if starting out with one caliber and < $200....

Thanks.
